Build Up Not Tear Down

Before pointing a finger at someone else make sure your nails are clean. – Anon


In the Garden, Adam blamed Eve, she blamed the serpent, and here we are today. Hmm!


We live in a fallen world, that’s a given. We’re all imperfect beings who sometimes fall short of God’s expectations. What’s amazing though is that, though we know we live in a fallen world we seem to get so much joy pointing out others sins and imperfections rather than working on our own. Constructive criticism is great when it is offered in love and respect to the person, but not when it’s given to tear them down. The God we serve asks us to be loving and forgiving of our brothers and sisters, not condemning or speaking ill of them. Throughout today we can rest assured God’s going to give us ample chances to practice what he expects of us.


Until tomorrow……
